Let it never be said, dear readers, we don't go all out! I am sicker than a terrier dog after sucking down a ton of chocolate, and yet...here is a review for Zero no Tsukaima. It's a horribly compressed anime, that couldn't quite make itself bad regardless of what was done...and what wasn't done to it, heh.

If someone could make the comments thread for me, I'll give you...well, you probably don't want what I'd have to give you at this point, but I'd be really appreciative, heh.CLOSED

Well, I'm finally back - more or less - and this week it's with a review of the Mecha series Innocent Venus. Join Jin, Jo, and Sakura as they try to keep one step ahead of the military machine that wants to claim Sakura for their own plots and plans. A reasonably high recommendation for those that like good action, drama and characters. Saddle up, and read on!

As always, you're welcome to share your opinion of the review, too.CLOSED

Finally, I've encoded and torrented part 2 of Anime Expo 2006's Cosplay. This year, the entertainment between the cosplay and judging was just as good, if not better at many points, than the actual cosplay itself. I've encoded this one in x264 as an experiment, so if there's any problems, let me know.

Anime Expo was a lot of fun this year. I kinda wish more of the gang had been around to be honest. Still, one should be grateful for what they get, and so, without further ado, you can at least read up about the convention from one lone demented fanboy with a camera...and way too much time on his hands, heh.

I haven't fallen off the face of the planet, folks, just been very, very busy. Almost as busy as Saito from Zero no Tsukaima has been trying to avoid Louise's whip. I've added a preview for this fantasy series this week, and it's a series worth taking a look at, folks. I'll hopefully be adding a new chapter for Anime for Newbs soon too, and I know that David has been working on a report on AnimeExpo 2006. The site isn't dead, just us, heh. Enjoy!
